Custom Query Shortcut + built-in variables

[taooceros]

1. Expandable Shortcut
2. Built-in variables- {clipboard} for accessing latest clipboard entry

Do we want to reference to variable? So probably a later shortcut can reference back to an earlier shortcut (then we need a move up and move down button).

It will be interesting if we introduce variable like {{clipboard}}

• The title and subtitle of the query shortcut config window need to be changed.
• Please add preview button so it's consistent with custom query hotkey
• Change the name 'Shortcut' to 'Custom Query Shortcut' so it's consistent.

Shortcut is not being saved.

[jjw24]

is this how you would use env variables?

What plans do we have for adding built in variables apart from clipboard?

Explorer plugin doesn't play well with {, getting exception when I type {cli, need to fix that in Explorer.

Not yet.

So what else can we do with this functionality? Clipboard access can be done better with the Clipboard plugin I feel.

Maybe it is related to the vscode workspace plugin (default action word {). I remember I had similar issues when testing along with the plugin.

This design is to provide functionality more than simple static string replacment. I don't have any good idea about what else we can do with it yet.

Nah, actually reproducible with Dev branch.

Feels like half-baked at the moment because users wouldn't be able to add new ones in and clipboard access can be done with the clipboard plugin. What about pulling it out to a separate pr?

Maybe we should discuss it later, when other problems of this pr are fixed.
